Instructional Methods: 100 % Distance Education

ACCT 2301 is a required, elective, or prerequisite course depending upon the program or accounting

courses.

As an instructor, I want my students to be successful. I feel that it is my responsibility to provide you

with knowledge concerning the field of accounting, modeling good teaching strategies, and organizing

and monitoring the class experience that allows you to connect the information that you learn in this

course to the real world of accounting.

As a student wanting to learn about the field of accounting, it is your responsibility to read the textbook,

submit assignments on the due dates, study for the exams, participate in classroom activities, attend

class, and enjoy yourself while experiencing the real world of accounting.

Evaluation and Requirements:

Students are expected to read all assigned chapters, complete and submit all assignments on or before the

due dates. Your assignment grades will be posted in Eagle on Line every Monday. Verify grades every

Monday during the Semester.

Your final grade for this course will be based on how well you do in meeting the evaluation

requirements listed on your assignment schedule and applying the grading scale which is listed below.

This course will use the book publisher McGraw-Hill Connect Learning Module for all of your on

line work.

HCC Grading Scale:

A = 100- 90 4 points per semester hour

B = 89 - 80: 3 points per semester hour

C = 79 - 70: 2 points per semester hour

D = 69 - 60: 1 point per semester hour

59 and below = F 0 points per semester hour

FX (Failure due to non-attendance) 0 points per semester hour

IP (In Progress) 0 points per semester hour

W (Withdrawn) 0 points per semester hour

I (Incomplete) 0 points per semester hour

AUD (Audit) 0 points per semester hour

IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enroll to receive

credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. To compute grade

point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The

grades "IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect GPA.

See "Health Science Program/Discipline Requirements" for grading scale

FINAL GRADE OF FX

Students who stop attending class and do not withdraw themselves prior to the withdrawal deadline may

either be dropped by their professor for excessive absences or be assigned the final grade of “FX” at the

end of the semester. Students who stop attending classes will receive a grade of “FX”, compared to an

earned grade of “F” which is due to poor performance. Logging into a DE course without active

participation is seen as non-attending. Students that also fail to complete a minimum of the course work

of 17

will also receive an FX.

Please note that HCC will not disperse financial aid funding for students who have never attended class.

Students who receive financial aid but fail to attend class will be reported to the Department of

Education and may have to pay back their aid. A grade of “FX” is treated exactly the same as a grade of

“F” in terms of GPA, probation, suspension, and satisfactory academic progress.

Evaluation Requirements:

Learn Smart/Smart Book Assignments:

No two students are alike. Why should their learning paths be? LearnSmart uses revolutionary

adaptive technology to build a learning experience unique to each student’s individual needs. It

starts by identifying the topics a student knows and does not know. As the student progresses,

LearnSmart adapts and adjusts the content based on his or her individual strengths, weaknesses

and confidence, ensuring that every minute spent studying with LearnSmart is the most efficient

and productive study time possible.

LearnSmart also takes into account that everyone will forget a certain amount of material.

LearnSmart pinpoints areas that a student is most likely to forget and encourages periodic review

to ensure that the knowledge is truly learned and retained. In this way, LearnSmart goes beyond

simply getting students to memorize material – it helps them truly retain the material in their long

term memory. Want proof? Students who use LearnSmart are 35% more likely to complete their

class; 13% more likely to pass their class; and have been proven to improve their performance by

a full letter grade.

Content is still structured somewhat like a textbook but instead of asking students to read it thoroughly

from start to finish, it coaches the student on how to read the material and quizzes them on various

concepts as they move through each section. Depending on their responses, they’re guided along to

different highlighted passages. LearnSmart is more focused on reviewing material and attempts to help

students read more efficiently to better retain information.

The assignment list where Learn Smart is listed indicates a time such as 20 minutes. This does not mean

you have only 20 minutes before you start but is telling you that the average amount of time is 20

minutes. Just make sure the assignment is completed by the day and time listed in the assignment list.

Be sure to use Learn Smart (Smart Book) that is in the assignment section in Connect to be

graded.

Exercises and Problems Assignments:

All exercises and problems in Connect are the same exercises and problems as you will find in the back

of each chapter. The only difference is that each student’s numbers for the exercises or problems in

Connect will be different numbers than in the book or what your fellow students have.(algorithmic

exercises and problems)

Submission Attempts-Check my works

The system is set to give you only two (2) submission attempts but you do have unlimited “check

my works” to help you eventually master the concept and problem before you submit for grading.

The best score will be your grade. If you complete one attempt and start another attempt and

decide not to submit, the system will only use the grade from the first attempt.

Hints:

Some of the exercises and problems have features to allow you to watch a video of a similar

exercise/problem. “View Hint” will walk you through the process.

of 17

Ask your instructor feature:

The system is set that you can ask your instructor a question by using the mail feature found in

each Connect problem. Students can “ask your instructor a question”. Your instructor will

respond back to you by using the mail feature in Connect (so check your Connect regularly for

responses back from your instructor).

Ebook and resources:

The system is set that you can click on ebook and resources that will take you direct to the

section in the book that is dealing with your exercise/problem

Report a content issue:

If a student feels that there is an error with the material do NOT report these issues directly to

Connect. Click “ask your instructor” while in the Connect problem. Give detailed information

as to the problem. Your instructor will determine if there really is an issue and has the ability to

report that issue direct to the Connect product team.

Interactive Presentations Assignments:

Interactive Presentations (IP) are an interactive audio/video that will require you to answer questions as

you move along in the video. The system is set to give you two (2) attempts. The best score will be

your grade. If you complete one attempt and start another attempt and decide not to submit, the system

will only use the grade from the first attempt.

Quizzes Assignments:

Each chapter in Connect has a 10 question multiple choice quiz and each student’s quiz is completely

different from another student’s quiz.(random pooling) Each student is allowed 2 attempts to improve

their grade. Each attempt is a different set of questions. The best score will be your grade. If you

complete one attempt and start another attempt and decide not to submit, the system will only use the

grade from the first attempt. Quizzes do not have “check my work”. The feature “ask your instructor” is

available.

Textbook and Related Material (Required):

Welcome to Accounting 2301-Financial Accounting Principles of Accounting 1. Please read this entire

message carefully, as it contains crucial information about your required course materials and how to

obtain the best bargain as you are shopping around.

The required textbook for this course is: Financial Accounting Fundamentals 5th. Edition Chapters 1-13

complete a variety of assignments that will be delivered via McGraw-Hill Connect, an innovative

online learning system proven to help students achieve greater success. The purchase of Connect is

mandatory for this course.

While there are many purchase options, the best bargain for obtaining everything you will need to be

successful in this course may be found in the value-added bundle available in the campus bookstore or

ordered directly from McGraw-Hill. While I highly recommend the option that includes a printed copy

of the text, if you are comfortable foregoing use of a hard-copy text in favor of an electronic version, you

may instead purchase stand-alone access to McGraw-Hill Connect. This provides you with access to all

of the assignments in McGraw-Hill Connect plus an integrated e-book version of the required textbook.

The McGraw Hill Connect system allows you to register without immediately paying. You do have a 14

offered by McGraw at our request but all students are required to pay. If you pay and then withdraw or

drop, Connect will honor your registration for a certain number of days normally where you can take the

course again the next semester.

registrar's office by that date. If you have not logged in to Eagle on Line by February 1, 2016,

you will have been considered as never attending and the registrar's office will drop you from this

course. I will NOT reinstate you.

Although it is the responsibility of the student to withdraw officially from a course, the professor also

has the authority to block a student from accessing Eagle On Line, and/or to withdraw a student for

excessive absences (for this course, more than 2 absences).

Any grade average of 50 % or lower will alert your instructor to review your course work and

determine if the grade average is due to lack of submitted work or lack of understanding the material. A

student may be considered as non-participating and subject to withdrawal if they have attempted and

submitted less than 75% of the assignments.

The instructor will apply the above mentioned guidelines for officially withdrawing a student

before or by the official day of withdrawal. These same guidelines will also apply after the official

day of withdrawal in assigning a final grade of FX.

Also review page 1 about the requirement that you must log into Eagle on Line at a minimum of

two (2) times a week. Checking in everyday would be advisable. Any modifications to any schedule

will be posted in an “Announcement”, email or a revision in the syllabus

DISTANCE EDUCATION: The Distance Education Student Handbook contains policies and procedures unique to the DE student.

Students should have reviewed the handbook as part of the mandatory orientation. It is the student's

responsibility to be familiar with the handbook's contents. The handbook contains valuable information,

answers, and resources, such as DE contacts, policies and procedures (how to drop, attendance

requirements, etc.), student services (ADA, financial aid, degree planning, etc.), course information,

testing procedures, technical support, and academic calendars. Refer to the DE Student Handbook by

Virtual Classroom Conduct:

As with on-campus classes, all students in HCC Distance Education courses are required to follow all

HCC Policies & Procedures, the Student Code of Conduct, the Student Handbook, and relevant sections

of the Texas Education Code when interacting and communicating in a virtual classroom with faculty

and fellow students. Students who violate these policies and guidelines will be subject to disciplinary

action that could include denial of access to course-related email, discussion groups, and chat rooms or

being removed from the class.

As your instructor and as a student in this class, it is our shared responsibility to develop and maintain a

positive learning environment for everyone. Your instructor takes this responsibility very seriously and

will inform members of the class if their behavior makes it difficult for him/her to carry out this task. As

a fellow learner, you are asked to respect the learning needs of your classmates and assist your instructor

to achieve this critical goal. Inappropriate behavior also includes emails that the language of the email is

considered by the instructor as not being conducive to a positive environment. Your instructor will

advise you if the email is inappropriate and ask for you to refrain from future inappropriate emails. The

instructor has the right to refer all actions deemed inappropriate to Administration for further action

of the survey will be made available to your professors and department chairs for continual

improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student

System online near the end of the term.
